The Senior Bowl is college football’s ultimate equalizer. It doesn’t matter your upbringing, how many stars were on your Rivals’ recruiting page, whether you played in the Power 5, Group of 5, or below the FBS level. All that matters is you’re here, competing on the same field, looking to win rep after rep, day after day.

A light recruit from Monroe, North Carolina, he went to the first school who gave him the chance to play football at the next level.
